OK Figured it out....

3 - Is this a kick panel?
4 - Same as 3 (other side)
5 - Any idea which wire harness this is, #6 is a specific connection on it

7 - This looks like an power window unit. Am I right?

I don't know any of these parts, if anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

#1 is a headlight wiring connector, #2 is a left-rear splash shield for the LH front wheel. And a really crappy job of installing the seal, too. They are supposed to be stapled, not screwed, and attached better than that. IMHO buying them separately is a waste, I always use the ones that come with the rubber seals already attached.

Notice the bits of glue on #3 & #4. There is supposed to be a thick layer of jute glued on there, this is available new, die-cut, and reduces noise inside the car. If you are an adult, you'll want to put this back on when you refinish the panels.

#5 is probably an instrument connector, but I'd need to see the end, in focus, not the side.

I agree with the 302 solution... they are plentiful from '68 on and have a million different ways to restore or upgrade them for power and/or efficiency. Big blocks are cool but end up costing more one way or another. I also second the Craigslist solution. You can find a TON od old Fords with V8s and transmissions in them that will bolt right into a Mustang. Junked (or not junked) Rancheros, Fairlanes, Torinos, etc. all have engines you can slap right in. MORON ALERT... I didn't read the whole story before posting. I joined in 2008 but am still pretty green navigating around in here.

Reason: I didn't see that original poster had already bought an engine.

Hey Someday, thanks for posting. Dude, don't give it another thought about posting your opinion after I already got an engine. I wanted to keep "within" a 1967 specs, which meant I had to go with a 289. Yeah it's from a Bronco, but a 289 is a 289... ya know?
